Norman Birnbach, of Marblehead, recently released his newest book, “Stealing Time,” with co-author Tilia Klebenov Jacobs, of Framingham.
“The book was inspired by a phone call Birnbach’s daughter once tried to make. They were in a restaurant that featured an old-fashioned library when his daughter spotted a working rotary phone,” according to a press release.
Birnbach’s daughter was unsure how the phone worked and was incapable of making a call to her brother. Birnbach realized that his daughter would have struggled to navigate the New York City that he grew up in.
“Together, she and I began working on a premise for a novel in which a teenager, who becomes an accidental time-traveler, meets up with her father,” Birnbach said.
Birnbach is an award-winning writer who has published over a hundred op-eds, short stories, and articles.
“His work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Times Magazine, The Wall St. Journal, New York Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, San Francisco Chronicle…,” according to the release.
“Stealing Time” is Birnbach’s debut novel.
